In this month’s podcast, poet Stanley Plumly talks with contributing editor Maggie Smith about differences in writing poetry or prose, process and the importance of revision, and writing about Keats. Plumly also reads the poem “Dutch Elm” from his new book.

Plumly is a Distinguished University Professor at the University of Maryland. In 2010 he was elected to membership in the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.
